The Boss invited an 11-year-old fan on stage to sing with him during a concert
in Australia, before the pair did a joint stage slide.

A well-dressed young Bruce Springsteen fan was invited to join The Boss on stage during a gig in Brisbane, after he had mimicked the star's look.

The 11-year-old boy was wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and signature red cap in his back pocket, as seen on Springsteen's 1984 album, Born In The USA.

This record had particular significance in Brisbane, as the first time Springsteen played the city was part of the Born In The USA tour. A blog post on the singer's website said there were a number of "vintage Born In The USA T-shirts in the audience."

The boy joined Springsteen on stage and was offered the microphone to sing a few bars of Waiting On A Sunny Day, which he did with remarkable bravado. The Boss then dusted off the boy's knees before the pair walked to the other side of the stage and embarked upon a knee slide, which the singer's website called: "super cool: it's up there with the great knee slide from the Superbowl."

The show was the second on Springsteen's current world tour, which will reach London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in June and Leeds in July.
